    Write about your first computer.

    Our first computer was an Ericsson/IBM model that had a yellow & black screen on it. I remember fondly playing flight simulator on it. The graphics were seriously old school but were “modern” for the time. It was the mid-eighties & Apple & IBM where there was a war over customers.

    We even had a dot matrix printer that we thought was very “cool.” You had to tear off the dots if you wrote something on it. The paper jams were epic!

    Now, everything is about how light it is & how fast. It was about that too in the 1980’s but the machines were soo clunky & heavy. Oh how I miss that dot matrix printer. Not.

  • Stuff & everything

    What do you complain about the most?

    My husband claims I complain most about him, but I think it’s weirdos on the local buses. I feel like you can have a really good day & then end up on the wrong bus home. That tends to sour things.

    Another thing I like to complain about is how late some people are when you meet them. Like anyone running more than 15 minutes drives me nuts. I’m super punctual so I guess I expect that of others.

    People that don’t know how to go through check points at airports. That “forget” that they’ve liquids in their bag or don’t know how to put their stuff into a tray. How hard is it really?

    What are your pet peeves?

  • Cecilie

    Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

    First, she was a saint in Italy & she’s the Saint of Music. I played cello for a long time so that fits. Cecilia or Cecilie like I spell it comes from Italy. Where they celebrate Cecilia with festivals.

    It’s also been done to a not so nice song about a cheating lover. We can thank Simon & Garfunkel for that one. In college I was constantly accused of “cheating” when I never had.

    I prefer being the Saint of Music & as I listen to a ton of music I can relate better to that than the cheating lover.
